In their north Napa home, Alex and Catherine Reble have found a unique way to blend wine history, craftsmanship, and a revived post-pandemic business model by creating framed art pieces using antique corkscrews.

Why it matters

The Rebles' business showcases how creative entrepreneurs can find new life for vintage items and capitalize on the growing demand for one-of-a-kind home decor, especially in wine-centric regions like Napa Valley.

The details

The Rebles scour flea markets, antique stores, and estate sales to source rare and interesting corkscrews dating back decades or even centuries. They then carefully arrange the vintage openers into visually striking patterns and frame them to sell as wall art for wine enthusiasts and collectors.

  • The Rebles started their corkscrew art business in 2022, shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Their products are currently available for purchase through their online store and at select Napa Valley retail locations.
